Proportional font IDE

I would really like to see a proportional font IDE, even if I have to build it myself (perhaps as an extension to Visual Studio).

Nesting HTML- anchor tags

Today I was working on a tab navigation for a webpage. I tried the Sliding Doors approach which worked fine. Then I realized that I must include an option to delete a tab (usually a small X in the right corner of each tab). I wanted to use a nested anchor, which didn't work because it is not allowed. Then I saw the tab- navigation at P...

When Visual Studio (2005) has Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Tabs -> Indenting set to Smart it will automatically indent code blocks and line up squiggly brackets, {}, as expected.

Using vim's tabs like buffers

I have looked at the ability to use tabs in vim (with :tabe, :tabnew, etc.) as a replacement for my current practice of having many files open in the same window in hidden buffers.

Any problems with SVN merge on a multi column ( tab delimited ) text file?

I have a multi-column text file ( tab delimited ) that I use for localized text in my project. I picked this format since it can easily be edited by anyone in most text editors (and excel too).

How do I make Vi-Vim never use tabs (converting spaces to tabs, bad!), makes the tab key == 4 spaces, and automatically indent code after curly brace blocks like emacs does?
